Nadia Alawa is the founder and president of humanitarian relief organization, NuDay Syria, following her efforts to build bridges, save lives and inspire hope. NuDay Syria is a non-profit organization focused on empowerment, which it achieves through stability efforts. Syrians affected by the war, especially Syrian widows and orphans, have had their lives turned upside down. NuDay Syria’s projects are structured to make the lives of Syrian mothers and children normal again. In 2015, Nadia gave a Ted Talk on her journey to beginning NuDay Syria.

As of the past two years, NuDay Syria has sent over 60 containers – worth millions of dollars in humanitarian and medical supplies – and is continuously working on the next container. The organization is consistently working on improving the conditions of Syrian mothers and children, not just in a one time event – but sustainably and practically. That’s the case with the social business endeavors where Syrian women affected by the crisis will craft different projects – such as prayer clothes, stuffed animals, or knitted clothes. With a social center in Antakya, Turkey, women are able to get together and work – gaining an income as well as a more normalized situation. The organization is especially concerned with the lack of safe shelter and living for single mothers with daughters.

Her work has been covered in media outlets like The Boston Globe, Salt Lake Tribune, Huffington Post, The Daily Free Press, FirstPost, Telegram.com, and iPolitics360. She's also appeared on NECN The Morning Show, CBS, and other media outlets. In 2014, Nadia received the Calling All Crows Lauzie Award as Woman of the Year.Nadia Alawa is also the principal and home educator of Stellar Cluster Academy, and graduated from Copenhagen University. A strong humanitarian, she lives in New Hampshire.
